Well the rain finally stopped and we got to drive some great Nova Scotia back roads. From Shediac we headed south to Joggins a tiny town with a world famous UNESCO World Heritage fossil cliff. The coal seams exposed and eroded by the rise and fall of the Bay of Fundy tides are full of fossilized trees and these trees contain fossils of the creatures that lived in them millions of years ago.
From Joggins we headed over to Springhill on to ass hole Road, or correctly spelled Athol Road. We feel the road name is most appropriate as it is 10 km of loose gravel and loose gravel is not fun on a fully loaded bike. In Springhill we visited the Anne Murray Centre and went down a coal mine.
In Pugwash we met up with our son Brent and his wife (of 4 months) Jess. As a child, Jess spent her summers in Pugwash with her grandmother. If in the area, we recommend Sheila's B&B (great food too).
For those of you awaiting a video (helmet cam), yes we finally did another one given the lack of rain and we positioned it down to avoid getting the sky....oops, lots of shots of the broken asphalt....next time we'll hit it in the right place WE HOPE.
